(St Rupert, teacher and most loyal patron saint! So that you may diligently assail God’s ears for your herd and so that you may banish the plague, hunger, war and archenemy’s pursuit, this bell was consecrated in your name by Paris of Lodron, Archbishop and Prince of Salzburg in the year of salvation 1628.)

Miscellaneous

This bell hangs in the top level of the south tower belfry (on the Kapitelplatz side). It was originally consecrated in the name of St Rupert, which explains his relief and the inscription in his name. However, in 1961, a new, large Rupert bell was cast. This smaller one was then renamed for St Vergilius. It rings on workdays at 7:20 a.m. for Chapter Mass.
